Don't bother. If you read a bit further, you will see something like this:

"For ESXi hosts, license or evaluation period expiry leads to disconnection from vCenter Server. All powered on virtual machines continue to work, but you cannot power on virtual machines after they are powered off. You cannot change the current configuration of the features that are in use. You cannot use the features that remained unused before the license expiration."

There is no free license offered any more (I believe this was stopped around Jan 1, 2024. That was what all the hype was about. So now you are forced into a paid license, and it seems what *used* to be the 'free version' is around $70 USD.

All good, my 6.5u1 is still going strong. If one day I have to start over, I'll most likely switch to Proxmox.

Regards,
Nick

.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
